At Indigo we have many different services which may be of interest. We can conduct a basic Screening test to give you a better idea of whether you are dyslexic or not, (we also include a reading and spelling age test) or arrange a full Assessment with an Educational Psychologist. We can arrange private Tuition for a child or adult at any level of study, or Counselling for them. Indigo also have accredited Training courses for you or your organisation. We also conduct Needs Assessments for higher education. We have an Online Shop facility with The Dyslexia Shop and any purchases made provide our charity with a small donation at no extra cost to yourself.

Indigo operates from central Norwich offices and have a well stocked Resource Centre containing specialist books and assistive technology which you are welcome to use. Take a look at our useful hints and tips on managing dyslexia. We also have recycled resources availible to purchase and will gladly accept any unwanted educational aids. A range of information and materials associated with colour sensitivity, (Meares Irlen Syndrome), including coloured overlays is also available.

Dyslexia is a learning difficulty that has been around for quite some time. Even though it is a well-known term, people often do not fully understand what it means.

Dyslexia is a physical difference in the structure of the brain, and as such affects somebody's learning. Though classified as a disability it is not something wrong with an individual, it is just that their thought processes work differently.

The most common problem that a dyslexic may have is a difficulty with learning to read, write and spell. It is also common to have short term memory and organisation difficulties, however if you are dyslexic you may also be exceedingly creative or gifted in other ways.
